This is my first post here so I thought itíd be a good idea to ask your esteemed opinions about a real problem Iím facing:

Iím normally a WFB player but, apart from the couple of W40k tournaments Iíve been to, I only play my GK in friendly games against CSM (Khorne berserker type army) and Necrons.

I painted and took a 1,500pt GK list to the Cardiff Carnage tournament 2 years ago and did ok with them (came 16th out of 26 and won most sporting opponent), I then took part in the last GW 40k Doubles but took a slightly different list because of the restrictions, with the main difference being I used a LRC and had mixed results with it.

Next month Iíll be captaining the Northern Wasters team at the WPS Club Challenge and will be playing my GK again and this is caused me the problem - what do I take in my strike force? Do I take the painted army Iíve taken before or do I add some new units from the GK Iíve yet to paint? The scores of each individual player in a team will be added up and then averaged for the teams overall score, so I want to take a competitive army that wonít let the rest of the team down but I really donít want to get slammed on composition scoring.

Hereís the list thatís painted and has been played before (the dreadnought is the forgeworld GK one with the pyscannon being used as a multi-melta):

HQ Grand Master Psycannon Icon of the Just Psychic Power: Word of the Emperor 210pts

Hereís what Iíve collected for my apocalypse army but it all needs to be painted before I can use it to change my list:BC + 5 more terms (1 with pyscannon)5x Justicars and 14 GK 5x GKs with incinerators4x GKs with psycannons1x LR Crusader (painted to 3 colour minimum at present)1x LR (standard)

Can anyone please help me make a competitive list that can go head-to-head against other armies at the club challenge? I can get some of the unpainted stuff done in time as the tournament isnít for a month and I could really do with advice from other GK players....

Thanks for your help guys, it really has helped me - although I doubt that I have the skill level needed for the water warrior tactics!

I'm still trying to finalise the list but I'm really tempted for the 2 LRs in the army but am worried that a third of my points could go in the first round to 2 lucky shots. I know necrons will have a field day against them but how do you guys find playing 2x LRs against other opponents? (especially a godhammer and a crusader?)

That's exactly why he is there. As an IC he is nearly untargetable, especially with that 36" range Psycannon and I needed another Psycannon in the army. Also allows him to lend his firepower where it is needed, oh, and Terminator armour so he can move and shoot at full range.
